Client server architecture

 Client server architecture

Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected.


Advantages of Client-Server Architecture:

Organizations often seek  opportunities to maintain services and quality competition to sustain its market position with the help of technologies. Deployment of client-server computing in an organization will effectively increase its productivity through the usage of  cost-effective user interface, enhanced data storage, vast connectivity and reliable application services
  • Improved Data Sharing: 
Data is retained by usual business processes and manipulated on a server is available for designated users (clients) over an authorized access.
  • Integration of Services: 
Every client is given the opportunity to access corporate information via desktop interface eliminating the necessity to log into a terminal mode or processor. 
  • Shared Resources Amongst Different Platforms: 
Application used for client-server model is built regardless of the hardware platform or technical background of the entitled software (operating system software) providing an open computing environment, enforcing users to obtain the services of clients and servers (database, application and communication services)
  • Data Processing Capability Despite the Location: 
Client-server users can directly log into a system despite of the location or technology of the processors.
  • Easy Maintenance: 
Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected. This unaware change is called as Encapsulation.
  • Security: 
Servers have better control access and resources to ensure that only authorized clients can access or manipulate data and server updates are administered effectively.


 1. Monolithic architecture

2.    Layerd archtecture.

3.     Virtual machine architecture

4.     Exokernel architecture

5.    Client server architecture 


6.     Micro kernel architecture

Disadvantages of Client-Server Architecture.
  • Overloaded Servers: 
When there are frequent simultaneous client requests, server severely get overloaded, forming traffic congestion.
  • Impact of Centralized Architecture: 
Since it is centralized, if a critical server failed, client requests are not accomplished. Therefore, client-server lacks the robustness of a good network.

Defination of OS(operating system) and its concepts

    What do you mean by operating system?     Definition :  An operating system is a program that act as an interface between the user of a computer and the                                      Computer hardware. Operating system is a first program that gets loaded into the memory through a process called booting. Concepts of operating system : ·                       The purpose of operating system is to provide an environment in which a user can execute program in a convenient and efficient manner. ·                       Operating system is an integrated set of program that ma...

Micro kernel architecture

  Micro kernel  architecture What is Kernel? A kernel is an important part of an OS that manages system resources. It also acts as a bridge between the software and hardware of the computer. It is one of the first program which is loaded on start-up after the bootloader. The Kernel is also responsible for offering secure access to the machine's hardware for various programs. It also decides when and how long a certain application uses specific hardware. What is Microkernel? Microkernel  is a software or code which contains the required minimum amount of functions, data, and features to implement an operating system. It provides a minimal number of mechanisms, which is good enough to run the most basic functions of an operating system. It allows other parts of the operating system to be implemented as it does not impose a lot of policies. Microkernels and their user environments are usually implemented in the C++ or C programming languages with a little bit of assembly. Ho...

What is RAM and Why is it Important?

  What is RAM and Why is it Important? Random access memory (RAM) is a computer's short-term memory. None of your programs, files, or Netflix streams would work without RAM, which is your computer’s working space. But what is RAM exactly? In this article, we explain what RAM means in computer terms and why it’s important. What does RAM stand for? RAM is short for “random access memory” and while it might sound mysterious, RAM is one of the most fundamental elements of computing. RAM is the super-fast and temporary data storage space that a computer needs to access right now or in the next few moments. What is RAM and Why is it Important?

CPU Scheduling

  CPU Scheduling  What is CPU Scheduling? CPU Scheduling  is a process of determining which process will own CPU for execution while another process is on hold. The main task of CPU scheduling is to make sure that whenever the CPU remains idle, the OS at least select one of the processes available in the ready queue for execution. The selection process will be carried out by the CPU scheduler. It selects one of the processes in memory that are ready for execution. Types of CPU Scheduling Here are two kinds of Scheduling methods: Preemptive Scheduling In Preemptive Scheduling, the tasks are mostly assigned with their priorities. Sometimes it is important to run a task with a higher priority before another lower priority task, even if the lower priority task is still running. The lower priority task holds for some time and resumes when the higher priority task finishes its execution. Non-Preemptive Scheduling In this type of scheduling method, the CPU has been allocated to ...
